MAKE UP FOR BLOG # 4

The other night I watched the movie called "Baby Mama" with my boyfriend. At first I just watched the movie and laughed through the whole thing, but afterwards I realized that the main character was going against the stereotype society has for women, and was in a way punished for it. In the movie a woman puts of marriage and dating for a long time and just focuses on work. She becomes the vice president of the company she is working for, but finds herself wanting a baby. So she hires a surrogate mother and the film takes off from there. The movie shows how hard it is for society to accept you if you happen to be an independent woman. In one scene her mother bascially says she'll never get married because shes to focused on herself and her work. It's also hard for her to adopt a baby because shes an independent woman, which I think is stupid. In the end this movie was yet another example of the constraints society sets on women.
